Jiang Ruhai was suddenly startled, stood up abruptly and quickly covered Jiang Qingwu's mouth.

Yan Xiuchen outside the door couldn't help but brighten his pupils and secretly clenched the golden bronze fan.

"Uh-huh...Father..."

"Girl, are you crazy? How can you say such a thing?"

"Besides, what deep hatred do you have with Yan Lin? Even if he betrayed you, it wouldn't be so..."

Jiang Ruhai was so scared that he sighed repeatedly and looked at Jiang Qingwu and sat back helplessly.

Jiang Qingwu rolled his eyes and sat aside angrily, "Father...he didn't just betray me."

"He also wanted to kill me and Yan Xiuchen."

Jiang Ruhai frowned, "What did you say?"

Jiang Qingwu calmed himself down and raised his head, "I... before the engagement banquet, I overheard him talking to someone from the Shen family in Yan Lin's mansion."

"In the Xiling battlefield, he was the one who colluded with the foreign enemy, bribed the vanguard army, and deliberately led me into the West Wind Valley."

"He wanted to use me as bait to lure Yan Xiuchen to come to the rescue so that he could kill him."

Jiang Ruhai slammed the table when he heard Jiang Qingwu's words, "Colluding with outsiders? Bribing the Xian army? How dare he?"

"What is there for him to be afraid of? He wants to clear all obstacles and become the emperor."

"Yan Xiuchen holds great power and commands millions of soldiers, which is exactly what is hindering him."

As he spoke, Jiang Qingwu also stood up and went over to greet him, "Father, whether Yan Xiuchen wants to fight with him or not, he will not let Yan Xiuchen go."

"Do you want him to surrender?"

Yan Xiuchen was listening to the two people's conversation outside the door with a serious expression. He pondered for a long time and raised his hand slightly to signal Jiuhan.

Jiuhan didn't say anything, just silently pushed Yan Xiuchen and turned away.

Wanyue wanted to stop him, but did not dare to speak. She bowed slightly and hurried into the house.

Jiang Qingwu couldn't help but ask when he saw Wanyue frowning and seeming to want to say something.

"Wan Yue? What's wrong?"

"Miss, Master...His Highness, just arrived, right outside the door..."

"What?" Jiang Qingwu suddenly came to his senses and hurriedly chased after him outside the door, but there was no sign of Yan Xiuchen in the yard.

Seeing this, Wanyue hurried over and added another sentence into Jiang Qingwu's ear.

"Your Highness heard what the young lady and the master said."

When Jiang Qingwu heard Wanyue say this, he chased after her without saying a word.

I chased him all the way to the back door and saw Yan Xiuchen's carriage about to leave.

"Wait a minute..." Jiang Qingwu called out breathlessly to stop the carriage.

Without waiting for Jiuhan to come over and put down the stool, he jumped onto the carriage easily.

"Why did you come out? It's freezing cold, don't you wear a cloak?"

As Yan Xiuchen spoke, he took off his cloak and wrapped it around Jiang Qingwu.

"I'm not cold, you...you came to find me just now? Why are you leaving again?"

Yan Xiuchen didn't say anything, but just looked at Jiang Qingwu solemnly, then poured her a cup of hot tea.

"You just heard everything, didn't you?"

"Don't pay attention to what my father said. He is just that kind of person. He is always cautious."

"He is not targeting you, nor does he disapprove of you. He is just worried about the Jiang family."

"Anyway, I know what to do..."

Jiang Qingwu's words made Yan Xiuchen feel even more uneasy.

"I don't think there's anything wrong with what your father said."

Yan Xiuchen held the golden bronze fan and looked at Jiang Qingwu quietly. He hesitated for a moment and said, "Actually, I am not in a hurry to marry you, but..."

Jiang Qingwu looked at Yan Xiuchen, who seemed to be hesitant to speak, and smiled as she leaned closer, "Just what?"

"I'm just afraid... that you'll regret it." When he said this, there seemed to be a hint of fear in his heart.

Jiang Qingwu's heart skipped a beat. This was the most truthful words she had ever heard him say in such a long time.

I couldn't help but curl up the corners of my lips, as if a smile was overflowing from my heart.

Yan Xiuchen's face, on the other hand, was gloomy, as if he was hiding something on his mind and was thinking about something.

“Why not hold the engagement banquet first and postpone the wedding…” Yan Xiuchen seemed to have mustered up his courage.

When Jiang Qingwu heard this, the smile on his face stopped abruptly.

"Are you serious?"

Yan Xiuchen nodded solemnly and shook the golden bronze fan slightly, "I also think your father's words make sense. The Shen family is very powerful now..."

Seeing this, Jiang Qingwu sighed secretly, his eyebrows turned, and he instantly came up with an idea.

"Hmph, you're just making excuses. I think you just don't want to marry me anymore." Jiang Qingwu snorted coldly, glanced at him coldly, and turned his face away.

Yan Xiuchen was startled at first, then hurriedly explained, "No, I also heard about what happened in the court today. The current situation is indeed unclear. You..."

"Oh, you men are all the same. When you can't get what you want, you do everything you can."

"As soon as I said I wanted to marry you, it immediately became boring."

There was a hint of panic in Yan Xiuchen's eyes, and he leaned forward.

"No, that's not what I meant. I meant..."

"It's nothing. If you don't want to marry me, just say so. Don't bring up my father."

"I think you don't want to hold the engagement party."

"I knew you didn't want to do it. If you don't want to do it, forget it."

Jiang Qingwu said this angrily, and then placed the teacup on the sandalwood table.

Yan Xiuchen was a little confused for a moment, staring at Jiang Qingwu with wide eyes. He opened his mouth several times but didn't know how to refute.

Seeing Jiang Qingwu was about to leave, Yan Xiuchen became anxious and grabbed her.

"Marry. After the engagement banquet, I will immediately discuss the marriage with the Queen Mother."

Jiang Qingwu looked at Yan Xiuchen holding her hand tightly, with a smile on his face as if he had succeeded in his evil plan.

"That's what you said."

Yan Xiuchen sighed secretly and nodded, "Yes, that's what the king said."

"Okay, let's go back. What did you come to see me for?"

Yan Xiuchen looked at Jiang Qingwu helplessly, smiled and nodded, "Are all of you women like you, unreasonable and scheming?"

"Our women?" Jiang Qingwu said, leaning towards Yan Xiuchen with his chin in his hand, "Have you ever had other women?"

"No, I mean..."

Hearing this, Jiang Qingwu's lips flashed with a hint of teasing for a moment, and he rolled his eyes and said coldly, "Oh, I knew it, there must be one."

"You are the regent king. How could you not have a young lady at your age?"

"Those people, this lord, that general, did they all put their daughters and sisters in your arms..."

I wanted to take another look at Yan Xiuchen's bewildered expression, but before I could finish my words, Yan Xiuchen pulled me over.

"Ah..." Jiang Qingwu was frightened for a moment. Before he could come to his senses, his head was held and his lips were kissed.

The palms are very strong and warm.

Not as gentle as before, it was more like he wanted to tear her apart and eat her.

I don’t know if this person has been drugged.

Gradually, she began to feel dizzy and had difficulty breathing.

"Uh-huh……"

She struggled instinctively and wanted to escape, but he grabbed her waist and held her in his arms.

But just when the excitement in the carriage was in full swing, Jiang Ruhai's voice suddenly came from outside the carriage.

"See Your Highness..."
